Raise your Glass: Best Container Patio Bars

Beer garden, patio bar, watering hole – they are all one in the same. You build it, and the thirsty customers will come.

At Saf-T-Box, we have seen some innovative uses for repurposed shipping containers. Images of container houses, pop up shops and restaurants have flooded Pinterest. Many do-it-yourselfers have become interested in investing in building a custom structure from a foundationally sturdy cargo container.

In particular parts of Texas, there have been a few recent developments in the realm of container bars, including in San Antonio and Austin. We hope to highlight some of our home state favorites and mention a few other notable structures from all over the world.
